What is a better snowboard to buy: the Burton Custom or the Burton Shaun White?

Question

I'm lookin for a nice board that will fly down the mountain.
Not too many rails (some boxes).
Not much halfpipes.
Some jumps and park.
LOTS OF FLYIN DOWN THE MOUNTAIN (powder and groomers).

Answer 1

the custom will float better in the crud or powder..as its wider..making it more comfy for the big footed dude..if your not huckin it in the pipe id leave the shaun on the shelf and get the all around conditons friendly CUSTOM

Answer 2

They are pretty much exactly the same board. The Custom is a bit wider and that's about it. If you want to pay a little more and give Shaun White more money, get his board. I'd say save the cash and get the Custom.

EDIT: You are correct, Burton's quality isn't as good as it use to be, it is FAR BETTER than it use to be. Burton boards use to turn into noodles after a few hard days, they delaminated and basically just fell apart. I've been a Burton dealer for four years now and in that time NOT ONE Burton board has come back in to me for warranty. I ride very, very hard and I've not had a single issue with my Burton boards (I own 4) and my T6 is 3 years old and still rides like it was brand new. Burton sets the Bar for snowboard quality.

Answer 3

Burton sets the bar for boards sold. Quality? Questionable. If your stuck on Burton sounds like the custom would be a better choice for you.

Answer 4

the custom x is a sweet board don't listen to the i hate big company hippies the best way to buy burton stuff is to buy it end of season since they are the big evil company they can afford to put there stuff around half off then you really get a good deal

Answer 5

shaun white burton

Answer 6

in my opinion Burton snowboards aren't as good as they used to be as far as quality goes. but its up to you, but a Burton board is not for beginners so if your going to get one. choose wisely
